It seems this may potentially be the social media post that the UCFPD is referring to:

Again, these reports are unsubstantiated despite police response, and we will be updating this story as details emerge.
It seems that an officer may have mistakenly discharged a firearm, but reports are indicating the scene has been thoroughly checked and deemed safe.
